Consultation 129.
Seated across from me was exactly who I expected to see, Author. | Haaaah. Judging by the look on her face, the tehe, Author Fool’s line didn’t get me off the hook.- So, God, do you like my gift? - Your gift? What do you mean?- Ugh, I’m already starting to feel sick.- What? | She feels sick? Was that related to the gift she just mentioned?- Sorry, it’s nothing, please forget I said anything. - Okay... if you say so. | I don’t buy it, she’s definitely hiding something. What could it be though?
Despite being curious, I decided to not probe into the origin of her sickness. I instinctively felt I’d feel the same way as her if I knew. But still, the gift she mentioned had me on edge.- Uh, what exactly was the gift you brought up just now?- Oh, you mean you haven’t heard yet?- Heard what?- Congratulations.- Congratulations? What are you congratulating me for?
A grin floated to her face that made all the hair on my body stand on ends.- What is it! Tell me! What the hell did you do, Author!
Author took out a single piece of paper and placed it on the desk in front of me It took a minute to register in my head as I couldn’t believe my eyes.- No.- Yes. - You didn’t.- Yes. Yes, I did.- Why?- It was meant to be. It is your destiny.
Life gradually drained from my eyes as reality sunk in.- Author, this isn’t funny you know. Author Fool’s has already come and gone.- Yes, I know that.- If you say Author Fool’s now that makes you the fool, you know.- Naturally, I’m aware of that. But there is no need to say Author Fool’s here.
On the piece of paper, my name was written. The problem wasn’t that my name was written on it. The problem was that another name was written on it beside mine with Author’s stamp of approval.-This is an abuse of power! I had nothing to do with the cover! It was all her!
A nasty smile formed on Author's face as she said- Yes, so I am merely punishing her for it.- How is this punishing her? Isn’t this just punishing me? Rather than a punishment for her, isn’t this more of a reward?- What are you talking about? Isn’t a forced arranged marriage considered a punishment for a woman? She doesn’t get to choose her partner this way, right?- Don’t give me that, that’s bullshit and you know it!- So what? I’m the one and only Author, if I say it, then it shall be as such.| Screw you! Why don’t you get married and see what it’s really like!
She raised her hand and pat me on the shoulder while looking into my eyes.- Relax, I’m sure it’ll be fun. Two women fighting for your attention, it must be nice.- Does being stabbed when you’re asleep sound like fun to you?- Haha. Well, good luck with that. | Good luck your mother!
After delivering the documents showing I was now married to Goddess Grandparents, Author left while laughing to herself over the misfortune she’d bestowed upon me. | Why me? Why couldn’t you just marry her off to someone else for a punishment? This was exactly what I feared would happen.- Haaaaah. | I’m really not looking forward to going home today.
